Microsoft Windows Server 2008 may not ship officially until Wednesday, but early adopters are running it in production networks and reporting solid results with new features including everything from stretched clusters to workload specific configurations of the server.
“Every one of our organizations is having the conversation about rolling out 2008 or deploying Windows Server 2003,” says Rand Morimoto, a consultant with Convergent, which helps companies architect and implement, local, wide area, and enterprise networks. “If they think 2008 is dependable and reliable, we roll it out. And we have installed 100s of these servers in production environments.”
